'Something…. Something strange…' Mira was looking for a 'surprise' for her 'dear friend' Apollo. The pet store was beginning to grow dull from the same cats, the same dogs, the same mutated man eating iguanas, same everything until… she found it….
Apollo was walking around the island trying to find a way to entertain himself. Sadly, though, he had no success. He closed his eyes and sighed. 'What to do?' While he was wracking his brain for the answer, he heard the familiar clumsy footsteps of his tormentor, Mira. He opened his eyes to see the most hideous thing he had ever seen. The 'thing' had beady black eyes, large red lips, flaky yellow and green scales… and… it was surrounded by water. He gawked at the 'thing' for a moment until it was replaced with the familiar face of Mira. "Do you like it!" she screeched. Apollo cringed slightly at the high pitch and looked at the 'thing'. "What in all things sane and normal is that?" he asked. Mira grined wildly and shooke the bag. "It's a fishy! Fluffy is REALLY fun! He's yours now!"
"Wha-"
"You need to feed him and love him- Oh! And don't forget to pet him every day! He'll die if you don't!"
Apollo stared at the 'dying' Fluffy in horror. "What do you mean I have to pet it?" Mira smiled gleefully. "You need to put your hand into the water and pet Fluffy. If you don't, he will die from the lack of attention! And ONLY you can pet him! He thinks you're his mommy"
"M-mommy!" Apollo looked back down to the fish. A few green bubbles rose from behind his tail. Apollo turned to the grinning Mira. "I think he likes you!"
"….No…. No.. NO! I'm not going to keep this!"
Mira looked at him shocked. "But…. He's a gift! I got him just for you!" Her eyes began to tear up. Apollo tried to say no again but sighed in defeat. "Thank you for the… gift…." He said depressingly.
